Pettis earned just the eighth armbar victory in a UFC championship fight.

Henderson was defeated by submission for the first time since March 31, 2007 – a span of 2,346 days (6.5 years) and 19 fights. The former champion had defended 32 of 32 submission attempts in his UFC/WEC career prior to UFC 164.

Barnett earned his first UFC victory since March 22, 2002 – a span of 4,180 days (11.5 years) and 25 fights. Barnett's 4,180-day gap between UFC wins is the second largest margin in history behind Mark Coleman (4,537 days).

Mir has been knocked out in seven of his eight professional defeats.

Mir is on the first three-fight losing streak of his 24-fight career.

Mendes (15-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is the first fighter in featherweight history to win four straight fights by knockout.

Mendes' nine career UFC/WEC featherweight victories are second to champ Jose Aldo for the most all-time.

Mendes' four-fight knockout streak is the longest streak of finishes in his 16-bout professional career.

Guida suffered his first loss since dropping to the UFC featherweight division and fell to 1-3 in his past four fights overall.

Guida was knocked out for the first time in his 44-fight career.

Brandon Vera (12-7 MMA, 8-7 UFC) fell to 1-4 (with one no-contest) in his past six fights. Vera's record when competing in the UFC heavyweight division dropped to 4-3.
